Preview
Pyotr Kochetko will start in net for the Hurricanes of Caroline in match 3 of the final of the Eastern Conference against the Florida Panthers.
“I do not blame Freddie for the goals that have entered,” said Rod Brind’amour during his availability of morning skating on Saturday. “The safeguard percentage was not great, the goals were big shots or games by them, changing the atmosphere a little. (Kochetkov) is a child that we had in there all year round and that we played well for us.”
Kochetkov played in Andersen’s relief in the third period of the Caroline 5-0 defeat against the Panthers in match 2. Entering the Andersen series was the statistical guard No. 1 in the playoffs, but it was not also clear to start the series to abandon several goals in the first period of the two games.
Carolina could also have other programming changes depending on health. Brind’amour said defender Jalen Chatfield and Sean Walker will both be matching time decisions. Brind’amour said Seth Jarvis would play and that he expected Jesperi Kotkaniemi to start. Kotkaniemi was a healthy scratch for match 2.
“We need more of him if he wants to play this role,” said Brind’amour. “I even love if it is not marked, you have to have more impact. It is a big body, it must have used it more.”
The Panthers lead the 2-0 series, but will be without the top scorer Sam Reinhart for match 3. The Hurricanes as a franchise lost 14 consecutive games from the consecutive eastern conference, including 6 consecutive against the panthers.
The washer falls at 8 p.m.
